Raven re: burying the money
Comments (16)As I recall.....you put a penny on a windowsill. Just one in a window on New Years Day, preferably just after midnight. For luck/money throughout the year. I should ad....my husband teased me.....we sold a house....one we didn't like for waaaay more than it should have sold for....the only house we ever sold with a penny in the window.....so he/my husband....ran around the house saying he wanted to put pennies in every window!!! Like a nut! His silly excitement was fun....as he attributed our apparent "luck/money to your household" to my penny in the window......teasing me. You don't have to sell the house to get the "lucky money"....just happened that way for us. :0) Or so it seems....See MoreHow Many Are Burying Money on New Year's Eve?
Comments (40)I haven't buried mine yet. I need to put a piece of flag stone over the top of it. The soil is so sandy here, the dogs can easily dig it up. Plus if I touch something, that is something they seem to automatically want. I really had to laugh the other day. I walked out in the hay field which is on the far side of this place. I walked around it to look at some tree that was on the edge of the forest. We back up to the Davy Crockett National forest. The dogs went with me. One dog, Scout, went off on her own. When I got back to the barn, I saw Scout zig zagging all over....following the path I had walked. Nose to the ground. She was tracking me. If she had looked up, she could have seen me. Makes you appreciate what a great nose dogs have. A little unnerving that a dog could smell me like that. :)...See MoreAlmost time! To Bury the Money!

Comments (51)Will pouring hot water help pudgeder? DH and I were talking when it was rabbit rabbit time so I flubbed that. Also I forgot to say I am burying my misfortune. Hopefully when I go out soon and say I am digging up my fortune it will counter the whole getting rid of my misfortune mistake. Maybe when I dig up the coins I will say I buried my misfortune and it has turned into a fortune. Who knows it could be a whole new lucky tradition :-). Joyful I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a secret or not. I would say just bury some money in a bag under the snow or in a flower pot outside and give it to somebody who's needy. That's what I do when I remember to do everything right....See More- 4 years agolast modified: 4 years ago
